Shiiiiiit!! That nikka been to Hawaii at least 3 times. South Africa and some shyt in Europe when he got banned from UK plus he moved into a new crib.:lolbron:

Tariq is a millionaire and it's from his books/media and other ventures. He wanted to make money from a black social networking site. That was his aim, it wasn't to hustle 80k for him to pocket or trick off as he would say.

Millionaires stay millionaires by getting other people to fund their lifestyle :manny:

I'm not disputing this. The point is Tariq intended to make more millions with a functioning social media app. The aim wasn't the crowdfund money. He intended to flip it and he failed.

Ok, I'll assume tariq had good faith.
Given that assumption I kind of have to question his followers since they were willing to fork over money to a guy that had no business plan whatsoever. He had a good amount of people actually pledge more than $1000 to this

Do you follow Tariq?

At the time prominent black ppl like him and Boyce were getting censored or banned from Facebook for speaking on black issues. The whole campaign was reactionary and spur of the moment during the whole BLM uprising. Boyce and others were discussing alternative platforms. Ppl were expecting proof of concept and that Moorus or something like it could work as a space for conscious black thought, no one gave Tariq money expecting a FB level site.

you seem more upset than i do. :usure: did you donate or something? :dwillhuh:
How am I mad I ain't give a damn thing??
I'm just not believing y'all's nikkaz excuses. Tariq does everything for himself. From MoorUs, Mink Slide, to Malema merchandise it's all about his bottom line $$$$$.

Lol I remember downloading that shyt and being disgusted. There’s no way he spent that money on that app. It was like a premade 2009 style app that you could pay under 100 dollars a month for a site like ning.com to generate.
Did he ever have a wireframe or some mockups of what the app was supposed to look like before people donated?
